Comment 288 for bug 85488

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your offer, I contacted the person with the Braille display and he responded with:

> As of the latest svn revision, the BRLTTY braille software
> (http://www.mielke.cc/brltty/) turns off autosuspend
> for this device before accessing it. This solves the problem.
>
> Unfortunately the timing wasn't too good: I discovered and reported this issue
> very shortly after a major release of BRLTTY (namely, version 3.8), so any
> distributors who pick up version 3.8 without the latest bug fix in svn will
> inherit this problem.
>
> Dave Mielke (the BRLTTY maintainer) may make a few extra adjustments to the
> code, but basically the problem was resolved by writing 0 to the
> power/autosuspend file for the device.
